An Experimental Study of Thermal Response of Sprinklers
스프링클러의 열응답성에 관한 실험적 연구
Abstract
The thermal response of sprinkler is characterized by the response time index(RTI). The RTI represents the product of the thermal time constant for the heat responsive element of a sprinkler and the square root of the hot air velocity at plunge test. A plunge test is adapted for measuring RTI, wherein a sprinkler is suddenly immersed in the steady flow in the test section of a hot air tunnel. The method of measurements of the response parameters is presented.
